Bitterly cold temperatures and wind chills down to 25 below zero are also expected Friday night through Sunday morning, as an arctic airmass moves through the region.

A warming trend will commence early next week. However, an approaching system may bring a wintry mix of precipitation Monday night into Tuesday.
